Card Cupids is having a Winter Wishes card drive, and I am over 1/2 way done with my 30 card goal.

These darling digi images were pre-colored, and are available from Cuddly Buddly..
All I did was print them, cut out with die-cuts, added coordinated paper and cardstock. Quick, cute and easy.
Please join Card Cupids Winter wishes cards drive, and help us bring a smile to a child.

Card Cupids wants to have plenty of cards on hand for the upcoming holiday season.I have a personal goal of 30 cards.

I work 2 part-time jobs, so I am creating great cards that don't take a lot of time.

The penquin was quick and easy to color.
The pattern paper is ONE SHEET! I bought a pattern paper pack, and the front sheet that shows you all the patterns inside... well this is it!
Added twine, and done!
